Teacher Teacher Presentation about the history behind the creation of Picasso’s
Presentation with painting “Guernica”. There are guided notes to go along with the
Guided Notes presentation to help students remember points discussed.
Webercise An online exercise with websites and videos. Follow the directions for
each section. Look at all of the websites and read the information. It
will help you with other projects.
Graphic Organizer This assignment will help you develop your analyzing skills. You will
read a couple of articles and watch a video to give some background
and get an idea of Diego Rivera’s work before interpreting one of two
murals. You will work in groups of 2-3 and create a graphic organizer to
map out your interpretations.
Big Paper There will be no talking during this activity. It is done in complete
silence. I will have a commentary artwork displayed. There will be a
large sheet of paper and markers for each group. Then as everyone
looks at the artwork they will write comments and questions. If
someone writes a question someone else in the group should answer it.
After a given amount of time everyone will get up and go around the
room and look at the other groups sheets and write comments and
questions. Then the groups return to their original sheet and read the
additional comments. At the very end everyone can talk and discuss.
Analysis Toward the end of the unit each student will choose a commentary
artwork that we have not already covered in class and do some
research on the artist and the background events that led to the work.
Then do 2-3 minute presentation of the history and their analysis of the
artwork.
Poster Project Each student will create a commentary poster. They will choose the
subject they want to illustrate. They will need to incorporate artist
elements in an original work of art that conveys a social issue in a way
that makes the sentiment clear to the viewer.
